I really wouldn't worry about RROD. This thing has been designed like a 2013 Tank. Huge heat sink with HUGE pipes, full SOC design, huge fan, huge box. If it gets too hot it will actually down-clock itself and pull less electricity.

When do you think clock speed tweaks happen exactly? It's in the testing phase, which they just finished and are now in full production. I mean some of you can be really silly about things. They tested it and saw they could bump up the speed and get better performance, and this is a negative why?

Oh, right. They planned years in advance to increase the clock speeds of everything at the last minute like they have.

microsoft fans..

That's right. They planned years in advance to tweak and test the console. These things don't happen at the last second as you said.
For all we know Sony is doing similar tweaks to PS4.

Directly from Microsoft -

C'mon seriously? That was not a shot - only you guys would think that. I was in a meeting on my phone, shot out a quick tweet. Srsly.

Sony haven't announced the CPU speed, as people have noted. Plus - when I take a pot-shot at the competition I'm gonna be way more obvious than that. I'm not a fan of the passive-aggressive.

As I'm sure you've figured out - you don't announce something like this at the same time you're working on it. Obviously this has been in the works, but now that we're in full production we felt OK about announcing it.

Devs should start seeing this soon - so any performance gains were happening on the 1.6 boxes. (everything at PAX was on the 1.6). This is a boost to developers on top of the optimizations going on.

Lastly - can I PLEASE finally get you over this "we're having production issues" thing that's going around? We increased the GPU 6%. We increased the CPU almost 10%. We have been showing retail boxes. We are now in full production.
